Heap Sort: The Algorithmic Antics

Heap sort, a sorting algorithm so chaotic, it'll make you laugh, cry, and wonder how it's even possible.

It's like a big ol' heap of bananas, and we're gonna sort them in a way that'll make you question the very fabric of reality.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to sort those bananas:

  1. Build a max-heap from the unsorted list. Yeah, just pile those bananas on top of each other like a tower of doom.
  2. Get the root node (the top banana). It's like the king of the heap, but don't worry, it'll get replaced soon.
  3. Sift through the rest of the heap, find the largest banana and swap it with the root node. Repeat this process until the heap is sorted.
  4. And there you have it! A sorted list, but at what cost? The bananas are now traumatized and will never be the same.
